Flag holders for Patriot Guard 3 x 5 Flags
I have joined the Patriot Guard. They use the large 3x5 ft. flags fro their ceremonies. Does anyone out there participate in the PG and what flag mounts do you use to hold the large 3x5 ft. flags securely at low speeds?
Thanks

When I have ridden with the Patriot Guard I just fly my small flags on my ISCI Flag Mount. I don't think the PGR cares what size flag you fly just that you show up.

I ride with the PGR up here in Maine, I hook them to the trailer hitch. The American Leagon web site under Leagon Riders has a flag mount for 1 or 3 flags that will mount to a trailer hitch.

Does this device fit on the Spyder? If not, can you provide the URL for the device that does? Very interested for my RT.

I had a set made for my Wing (See below). They should be able to hook to about any ball hitch (less the ball) as I've used them on truck's reese hitch. I pick up my hitchless spyder tomorrow. It wont' be hitchless for long. The price isn't for the faint of heart though. I have run these on my Wing at 80+ (with police escort) and never had a problem or ever worry about them.
They are cast and come about in three sections via quick pins.
I bought them in '10 so I'm not sure if they are still making flag poles and mounts.
The contact info is:

Ask for Kevin (mmmachine@comwares.net) and let him know your with the PGR.
Note: I buy all my US and military flags from Eagle Mountain flags in Texas (http://www.eaglemountainflag.com/) as they are made in the USA.

I made a pole to fit my hitch. Used a six foot threaded bar, nuts, washers, clips, and a cheep flag pole to put together. I have ridden at speeds up to 75 MPH with no problem to the pole. The flag will tear at the ends, but it was a cheep flag too. Flag Pole 004.jpgFlag Pole 003.jpgFlag Pole 001.jpgFlag Pole 002.jpgMods 011.jpg

I would like to see more examples personally. The Am Leg flag holder does not look like it can be applied to the BRP hitch bracket, unless it were upside down. I wish the other picture was a little more clearer. It looks like the BRP hitch bracket but no ball.

Unfortunately, RT w/ trailer hitch but here it is.
My results for a 3x5...

Currently, I have the collapsible flag pole available from PGR but not comfortable with it for any real speed. At a Lamonster's BBQ I spoke with a fellow PGR person and he suggested Schedule 18 PVC with wooden dowel (oak or ash) down the center.

My PGR Flag Setup
A picture is worth a 1000 words. I used SST bow rail from a local marine supply shop.

The whole thing is Stainless Steel except the bolt going through the Spyder hitch. I think the mount is 3/4 bow rail and the flag pole is 1/2 bow rail. I put some white tape around the flag pole to center the pole more and cut down on the sloppyness.

I may have solved my flag holder. I just bought a Pakit Rak and the hitch adapter looks as though it may work great.
Two birds with one stone!

I'm a PGR and have a homemade two flag mount on my RT trailer hitch. Only I don't use 3x5 ft.
flags, I use the smaller 2x3 ft flags mounted on 1" EMT. It's quite stable, even at higher speeds.
